UPDATED | Pimco Replaces Kashkari

Reported by Tommy Fernandez

Maybe this time will be the charm.

Pimco [profile] has hired Virginie Maisonneuve to serve as managing director, global head of equities and portfolio manager.

She joins PIMCO from Schroders [profile] where she most recently served as head of global and international equities.

She will be based in the firm’s London office. Her official start date is currently expected to be in January 2014. In her new role, Maisonneuve will lead PIMCO's active equity portfolio management, contributing also to the development and introduction of new equity and asset allocation strategies.

“Virginie is a proven equity investor and leader who has delivered a track-record of success for clients throughout her 25-year career as a portfolio manager and a business builder. We are delighted to have Virginie on board as part of our multi-year effort to deepen and expand the set of global investment solutions we provide to clients around the world,” stated Mohamed A. El-Erian, PIMCO's CEO and co-CIO.

The hiring caps off a tumultuous year for Pimco's equities arm, which saw the departure in January of former TARP czar Neel Kashkari, who had been hired by Pimco in 2009 to build up its equities business. The possible reasons for Kashkari's departure were explored in this article.

Pimco also saw the departure in June of emerging markets equity research head John Longhurst.

Her departure from Schroders will also impact Vanguard, for Masionneuve also co-managed the Vanguard International Growth fund.

Here is the press release:
